In this research with crystallization method, saffron Crocin was extracted. Ethanol 80% and acetone was chosen as the best extraction solvent. Crystallization and purification process was performed in two steps in zero and -5c° degree. In first step, saffron Crocin was extracted with ethanol and after keeping in -5c° for 23 days obtained Crystals were separated. Obtained Crocin crystals from the first step had low purity and the pure crystals were yielded during the second crystallization. Extraction and purity of Crocin. Crystals were studied by UV-visible spectrophotometry and Fourier transform spectrometry and High Performance Liquid Chromatogram analysis compared to Crocin Sigma-Aldrich. Results shows that the extraction intensity and purity of the obtained Crocins were significantly higher (28.32 times). Measurement of color showed the color strength was more than sigma-Aldrich about 7.5 time. The results of this research showed that purchased Crocin according to the chromatograms is not pure and some unknown impurity were seen. Besides, Chromatogram spectra's shows that obtained Crocin crystals were in higher purity than purchased one. This information illustrated that this crocin because of high purity can be used as a reliable and valid standard.","PeriodicalId":281523,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharma Medicine and Biological Sciences","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116362201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result was confirmed by 4week in vivo lightening study on human skin. Prior to this in vivo efficacy study, safety evaluation was conducted using Single Closed Patch Test (SCPT) for skin and Hen's Egg Test – Chorioallantoic Membrane (HET-CAM) to evaluate the irritation at ocular level. LHE showed tyrosinase inhibition of 49.37%, which indicates that LHE has potency to be used as lightening active ingredients in cosmetics products. After 4 weeks of application in human skin, the efficacy test showed that LHE contained lotion base significantly increased skin moisture content and reduced its melanin index. Furthermore, safety evaluation of the lotion by SCPT and HET-CAM showed that it is safe for human skin and eyes.

It is known that traditional culture methods are limited for analyzing it and that high-throughput sequencing, omics technologies instead allow to deepen the behaviour of microbial ecology. With the application of omics technologies, as metagenomics, metascriptomics, metaproteomics and metabolomics, many progress has been made in this field. Their integration, referred to as multi-omics approach, provides more evidence for biological mechanisms. This review highlights that omics approaches can be powerful tools in analyzing the human gut microbiome. The current scenario and examples of recently published landmark work are discussed and some limitations are outlined. Their combination is analyzed and relevant studies allowing us to link the expression of disease-associated microbial functions to distinct taxa are treated. Furthermore, recent system level approaches for integrating different omics layers are discussed and some researches aimed to develop a framework for the reconstruction of a large microbial community are examined. However, even today, we are aware that the multi-layer datasets integration is a challenging issue and that a careful planning of a multiomics application is thus required.","PeriodicalId":281523,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharma Medicine and Biological Sciences","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116153596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to investigate changes in the frequency of Th17 cells in peripheral blood of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients. The Th17 frequencies of 36 chronic hepatitis C patients were compared with those of 20 normal controls. All samples were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometer. Serum IL-17 levels were evaluated using the ELISA assay. There was a higher frequency of circulating Th17 cells and IL-17 levels in CHC patients than controls (3.46±1.53% and 2.05±0.88% for Th17 cells, 86.21±29.28 pg/ml and 58.05±14.17 pg/ml for IL-17 levels) (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in Th17 frequency and IL-17 levels between the groups of CHC patients with HCV RNA genotype 1b and 2a. The percentage of circulating Th17 cells increased significantly, correlating positively with ALT and negatively with HCVRNA. After 4 weeks of pegIFNα-2a treatment, the patients who acquired rapid virological response (RVR) had a higher pretreatment Th17 frequency compared with that of patients without RVR. During the 24 weeks of treatment with peg-IFNα-2a, Th17 cell frequency increased during the initial 4 weeks, then subsequently declined. In conclusion, Th17 cells and IL-17 were significantly increased in CHC patients and they were a positive correlation with ALT but a negative correlation with HCV RNA. Results suggest that an increase in Th17 cells is associated with inflammatory liver damage and persistent infection of HCV. The characteristics of Th17 variation during peg-IFNα-2a treatment imply that Th17 cells may serve as potent immunological markers for evaluating the efficacy of peg-IFNα anti-viral treatment.
